Quote of Note

Billy Graham's Prayer For Our Nation



: 'Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance.
We know Your Word says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done.

We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.

We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.

We have killed our unborn and called it choice.

We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.

We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self esteem.

We have abused power and called it politics.

We have coveted our neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.

We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression.

We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.

Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and Set us free.
:
: Amen!'

Three Communions

Our Church has a Communion service the first Sunday of every month. This is the revelation recieved from two of those services and one that I read in the paper.

The first one that caught my attention was a little snippet in the Newspaper. President Obama took his family on vacation to Hawaii. The article said, "Obama was the first worshipper to take communion, dipping the wafer in wine before placing it in his mouth". http://blackchristiannews.com/news/2010/12/president-and-first-lady-take-communion-at-church-extend-well-wishes-to-those-who-celebrate-kwanzaa.html

Now all I could think of was Judas at "The Last Supper". Jesus dipping his symbolic "body" into the symbolic "blood", and serving it to his betrayer!

It cannot be missed how anti-Christian The President has been since that trip. He has announce that America is not a Christian nation, tried to force The Catholic Church (as well as others) into offering insurance with birth control included. (That would include abortion)! He has told Muslim audiances that he was "born a Muslim, raised a Muslim, and still is a Muslim"! He has gone on to announce that he will fight for Gay marriage. No doubt he will eventually try to force Christian Churches into performing these rituals.

Imagine what is actually taking place at one of these Homosexual Marriages. Two People are standing before God vowing to never, "till death do they part", repent of the sin that God has called detestable.

Could it be that Obama used that Communion in Hawaii to denounce Christainity and betray Christ as Judas? The purpose being the love of this present World? Remember him, at the Brandenburg Gate saying, " I'm proud to be an American, but more proud to be a citizen of the World"? We are humbly the citizenship of Heaven, not of the World!

This First Communion represents persons and Churches that have betrayed Christ and denounced the truth for the love of a lie and love of this world.

The second Communion happened to me about two months ago. The elements are passed out and we all take them together. So first the bread is ushered around and then the cup. I sit near the front, next to the aisle. When the usher recieved the plate and turned he kind of turned with his back to me. I got skipped for the bread. On the next round I got the cup. I did not think much of it at the time. A month later however, I had my head down when the cup was passed and only got the bread. I instantly knew that an important message had been give to me but, I did not know what.

After the service I sat in the car and just prayed, "what is this about"?

Here it is: The Communion without the bread are those people and Churches that have received Christ and his sacrifice, but not become part of the body. They are holiday or Sunday Christians, but rarely fellowship or get involved with the business of family of God. They are alive inside , but dead outside.

The Communion without the blood are those people or churches that are active works and do gooders, who have not actually recieved the Blood of Christ sacrifice, through faith, against thier sins. They are salvation by works people. and are dead inside.

You all know people and churches that fit into the three communion catagories. God knows them too!
